I feel like I was successful with this studio photograph. For this project we had to try to make it look similar to a famous picture and I think that mine wasn't too far off. I like it in black and white and how the background is pure black. Also, the bubble came out good. I really liked this assignment and how the picture turned out once edited. If I were to change something, it would be to try to enhance the lighting a little more; make the light brighter on the left side of her face and the blacks darker on the left, to make her stand out a little more. But, overall I like it.
Prompt Response: nail biting and drawing blood
I feel like I was pretty successful in the assignment. I like the pure black background and then the light coming from the left of her. This is a more literal picture of the prompt response since she is biting her nails and it looks similar to blood or something next to her lips. I like how its dark shadows on her eyes. If I could change something it would be to make it more clear because the picture came out a little blurry and it would've probably looked better if it was more clear. Also, before editing you could see the detail of her eyelash on the right, but thats mostly lost because of the darkness. So, I wish there was a way that I could keep some of the detail. Overall, I thought it was pretty good.

Title: Frightened Man Portrait
Date taken: N/A
This photograph could be related to the prompt response I have, because the man looks very frightened and he is literally biting his nails. He is looking to the side, out of the corner of his eyes, and it appears that he is afraid of something that may happen. My prompt response is, "nail biting and drawing blood." Even though he isn't literally "drawing blood," that could just be foreshadowing what may happen to him. So, this is a more literal stance on the response.

Title: Female vampire against red background, portrait
Date taken: N/A
This photo can relate to my prompt response, because this girl looks like a vampire. There is blood coming down from her lips, which makes it appear that she just bit somebody and is very spooky. And that ties into the literal expression of "drawing blood." Even though she isn't literally biting her nails or something, it can be "nail biting" because that means that its scary or nerve-racking. Plus, technically the girl "bites" because she is a vampire.

Title: Little boy in jail
Date taken: N/A
This can compare because the boy looks scary or even evil, which adds a more "nail biting" attitude to the picture. So, even though this picture isn't literal, it is more of the feelings of the picture that can relate to the prompt response. I like how there is shadows revealing that the boy is either behind bars or blinds or something like that. This makes the picture look even more sketchy.

Title: Woman with bloody mouth
Date taken: N/A
This picture compares to the response due to the fact that the woman in the picture is bleeding. She is holding a tissue to he nose, trying to stop the blood. So, it appears that she could have been attacked or something and this could connect to the prompt response because it says, "nail biting and drawing blood." It could be "nail biting" because she could be scared and it goes with "drawing blood" since the woman is literally drawing blood.

Title: Caucasian couple organizing pills
Date taken: N/A Good: I chose this picture because the woman in the picture looks very friendly. She is smiling and the man is probably smiling as well because of this. I can not imagine this woman screaming at somebody or stealing, instead she just looks so gleeful yet calm. Also, with the pills that she is organizing, she pours them gently. If she were to be angry, she would most likely throw them or dump them all out. So, in all, I would perceive her as a good person.

Date taken: N/A Bad: I chose this picture because the woman in the picture is looking to the side, seeing if anybody else is there. Also, she is biting her lip, so this makes her look nervous as well as sneaky. She is holding a money pouch and is taking out a coin. Its appears that she is stealing, even though a coin isn't that much to steal, its wrong to steal in general. So, this is why I chose her portrait under this category.

Title: happy girl smiling on the grass
Date taken: N/A Happy: This woman looks extremely happy. She has a huge smile on her face, so something great must have just happened to her. Also, her eyes are closed and she seems so relaxed, just lying down on the green grass with her hair just flopped down peacefully. When I look at this photo, I think of a movie where something fantastic happened to the main character and they just fall back and lie down on the grass, smiling. These are some reasons why I chose this photograph.

Date taken: N/A Unhappy: This woman looks really depressed. Her hand is on her forehead and you could tell that she is like slouching over sadly. If you look closely you could see the tear forming in her eye. Also, her nose is slightly red and her eyebrows are in that sort of expression that occurs when somebodies sad. So, in general she appears to be very sad.

Title: Businessman whispering into telephone
Date taken: N/A Has a secret: This man looks like he is hiding something and is trying to keep quiet, as well as, keep a secret. He holds the phone in his hands, very close to his face and ear. It looks like he is whispering into the phone. Also, if you look at his facial expression, it is noticeable that his eyes are drifting to the left, making it appear as if he is looking if anybody else is in the room or even in sight. So, he is probably keeping a secret.
Minisaga:
The bitter wind against my cheeks, I looked out at a pale orange sky.
The dark trees twisting and turning, a path with no end and no way out.
An ear-piercing cry for help lures me in even closer.
Suddenly the cry stops and I turned around, there he was.
I feel like I was pretty successful with the picture for the minisaga. At first, I had trouble picking a good photo, then I was trying out effects and this one looked spooky and kind of cool. If i were to change something, it would be maybe to crop some of the sides, like maybe to the right. And to remember to brighten it before printing. But, overall I think it came out pretty interesting.

Journal 5A:
1.) One memory is when I got my dog Logan. I recently got him nine months ago, now he turned one in April. I remember being in the Humane Society and looking at all the dogs and each time I would walk past him but always turn around and look at him again, because he was a big fluff ball that was really calm and gave me those puppy eyes. I chose to get him and I picked him up and brought him to the front and we saw his brother too.
2.) I also remember getting my cat Ella. My family went over my cousin Pop's (Tony) house, think to drop him off or something, and we saw a cat. He said that he would leave food outside for the cat since his mom and sister were really alergic to cats. He said he saw her get thrown out of a moving car and he named her Scrappy because she didn't like when people pet her and she would scratch them. So, we decided to take her home and changed her name to Ella. (Now she likes being pet.)
3.) One of my favorite sports memory that I have is when our travel soccer team was playing in the semi-finals at home. At the start of the game, there was a light flurry. Then the snow really started to come down more into the game. By the second half, we were covered in snow and the ball could barely move across the ground. We were so cold and could barely see because of all the snow coming down at once. I was shaking and when I got home, I couldn't even take a shower because it burned so much. (We won by the way)
4.) Another memory I remember is the wrap-up tournament for soccer. In this game, it got very physical and many of our players got hurt. One player broke her foot, one hurt her back and fractured her ankle, another hurt her already injured back, and another player hurt her knee. With all of these fouls, the other team blamed it on us and accused us of cheating and pretending to fall on purpose. But, that obviously wasn't the truth because some of them needed to go to the hospital. Eventually, the other team forfeit. (We were winning any way so maybe they just needed an excuse.)

Low Depth Abstraction:
I like this photograph because the background is blurred out and you could really see the rocks. I think I was successful at making it low depth. But, I wish that the picture was more interesting with like a cool effect or maybe light vs. dark included. Maybe if I took it at a different type of day I would get a better effect.
Light As Subject Matter Project:
I liked this photo because of the reflection of the bridge into the water. Also, I like the photo in black and white. And I like how the black and white shades contrast with each other. When taking the picture, the branches were in my way and I would have preferred to have less branches. This photo will help me to improve on future projects and light as subject matter was my favorite project so far, so maybe I can work on those type of pictures.

Title: Boy falling in grass
Date taken: N/A
In this picture, it requires good timing due to the fact that the boy in the photograph is sliding and/or falling into the grass. When somebody falls or slides, the action is super quick so it must be hard to take a picture that catches the person halfway through the motion. So, this picture needs good timing in order to catch the boy in motion and make it clear, and low depth. What makes it low depth is that the boy (the main focus) is clear and the background is blurred in a way where you can sort of tell what the background is, but its low depth and adds a good technique to the photograph, making it so that its obvious that the photographer caught the boy in motion.

Title: Enjoying the summer weather and being playful on the river.
Date taken: N/A
This picture is very well taken due to the fact that its high depth and all of the picture is in focus. In the picture, the man is falling out of the canoe. It's a good shot because the man is not blurry, instead he is fully clear. This must mean that the photographer had great timing in order to catch the man in motion, but to make it not blurry at all. So, its frozen motion. The man is falling into the water, while the woman is trying to help, and the canoe is tipping. Each of these actions cause a lot of movement and requires great timing.

Title: Mersin
Date taken: 2007
In this picture a woman is riding a bicycle. This picture is a little different, because the woman which appears to be the main focus is the one that is blurred, while the background is the one in focus, which still makes this picture more of a low depth. The woman is blurred and makes it so its obvious that she is the one in motion and the photographer used good timing to catch her in action on the side of the picture riding her bike, and made it so she wasn't totally blurred out so you could barely tell what the focus was.

Title: Vase of flowers falling on floor
Date taken: N/A
I really like this picture because the flowers and the water are so clear. In the picture, the vase of flowers are falling to the ground. The vase is falling on an angle making a greater effect. Also, the water is the first to seperate from the vase, which makes the picture even more interesting. The photographer must have had amazing timing in order to catch this fast motion and make it into frozen motion. Also, it has low depth since the focus is the falling vase of flowers and the background is blurred out.

Title: Snowboard crash.
Date taken: N/A
This was a good high depth photograph of a snowboarder falling and sliding across the snow on his back. The picture required great timing due to the fact that his action was happening so fast and the image came out so clear, with no part of it being blurry. Also, the timing made it so the snow was caught flying through the air. Another cool thing about this picture is that the brightness of the sun is a red-ish color and shines over the tops of the mountains, adding more color to the picture.
My favorite pictures were the first one and the second one. I like the first one because the people are on the outside of the picture which adds a cool effect to the image. Also, it uses low depth, so that the background is blurry and the main picture stands out. Also if you look closely, the whole picture is on a slant. The background is tilted and the people are slightly turned. This adds another cool effect to the picture that makes you look closer into the photograph. I like the second photo because the background colors are a suttle blue color. Also the sky blends with the ocean, making it so as you look down the picture the blue color gets darker and darker. Plus, the building all the way on the right is shot so that you are looking down it and it has a good effect. Also, the other building stands out as well as the bridge-like pathway below which makes it so the left side is not just blue.

Title: Boy riding bike at beach
Date taken: n/a
I chose this image because it seemed like a good example of reflection. The picture is of a boy riding a bicycle on the beach which is kind of bizarre but also really interesting. The picture seems to be taken in the early morning which makes all the colors a light blue and the waves of the ocean very calming and suddle. Also, its cool how the boy on the bike is reflected against the sand. Plus, the light in the picture makes it so the boy is reflected and so the whole beach looks calm and still.
Light vs. Dark

I chose this picture because it seems to be shot at just the right moment. Plus, the way the boy is swinging on the tree is dark, while the background of the sunset has color, seems really cool. The boy swinging on the tree, brings your eye to that main portion of the image. While, how the sky catches the light from the sun makes it so all the colors are able to be brought out. Also, I really like how the sky is not just one color, instead it looks either like a sunrise or sunset, which are both great times of day to take a picture. In my opinion, this picture is a great representation of light vs. dark.

Artist: Geoffrey James
Title: Untitled, Long Island
Date taken: 2005
I chose this image because it is a good example of the shadow effect. This is because, the trees have shadows of themselves on the picture, which must mean that the photographer took the picture during a good time of day, like when it was sunny out, so that it had that kind of effect. And the shadows make it so the picture stands out more and leads your focus to it. Also, I think its really cool how the picture is in black and white, since it makes the picture appear more engaging and is another part of the photo that makes your eye more open to looking at all of the picture's characteristics.

Photographer- Dugald Bremner
Title- A soccer player lands in the mud in an attempt to field the ball
Date- N/A
I chose this picture because my favorite sport is soccer and the picture is of a soccer player trying her hardest to succeed. Also, the way the picture was shot made it so the mud was caught on camera still in the air, which made a greater effect to the picture. The person in the picture made a mistake and in reality that always happen. When I saw the picture it made me think of the times when in soccer, or basically anything, if you mess up then you could always get back up. The girl looks like she is determined to get back up and try again.
I feel like I was successful with this studio photograph. For this project we had to try to make it look similar to a famous picture and I think that mine wasn't too far off. I like it in black and white and how the background is pure black. Also, the bubble came out good. I really liked this assignment and how the picture turned out once edited. If I were to change something, it would be to try to enhance the lighting a little more; make the light brighter on the left side of her face and the blacks darker on the left, to make her stand out a little more. But, overall I like it.
Prompt Response: nail biting and drawing blood
I feel like I was pretty successful in the assignment. I like the pure black background and then the light coming from the left of her. This is a more literal picture of the prompt response since she is biting her nails and it looks similar to blood or something next to her lips. I like how its dark shadows on her eyes. If I could change something it would be to make it more clear because the picture came out a little blurry and it would've probably looked better if it was more clear. Also, before editing you could see the detail of her eyelash on the right, but thats mostly lost because of the darkness. So, I wish there was a way that I could keep some of the detail. Overall, I thought it was pretty good.

This picture is very well taken due to the fact that its high depth and all of the picture is in focus. In the picture, the man is falling out of the canoe. It's a good shot because the man is not blurry, instead he is fully clear. This must mean that the photographer had great timing in order to catch the man in motion, but to make it not blurry at all. So, its frozen motion. The man is falling into the water, while the woman is trying to help, and the canoe is tipping. Each of these actions cause a lot of movement and requires great timing.

Title: Mersin
Date taken: 2007
In this picture a woman is riding a bicycle. This picture is a little different, because the woman which appears to be the main focus is the one that is blurred, while the background is the one in focus, which still makes this picture more of a low depth. The woman is blurred and makes it so its obvious that she is the one in motion and the photographer used good timing to catch her in action on the side of the picture riding her bike, and made it so she wasn't totally blurred out so you could barely tell what the focus was.

Title: Vase of flowers falling on floor
Date taken: N/A
I really like this picture because the flowers and the water are so clear. In the picture, the vase of flowers are falling to the ground. The vase is falling on an angle making a greater effect. Also, the water is the first to seperate from the vase, which makes the picture even more interesting. The photographer must have had amazing timing in order to catch this fast motion and make it into frozen motion. Also, it has low depth since the focus is the falling vase of flowers and the background is blurred out.

Title: Snowboard crash.
Date taken: N/A
This was a good high depth photograph of a snowboarder falling and sliding across the snow on his back. The picture required great timing due to the fact that his action was happening so fast and the image came out so clear, with no part of it being blurry. Also, the timing made it so the snow was caught flying through the air. Another cool thing about this picture is that the brightness of the sun is a red-ish color and shines over the tops of the mountains, adding more color to the picture.

My favorite pictures were the first one and the second one. I like the first one because the people are on the outside of the picture which adds a cool effect to the image. Also, it uses low depth, so that the background is blurry and the main picture stands out. Also if you look closely, the whole picture is on a slant. The background is tilted and the people are slightly turned. This adds another cool effect to the picture that makes you look closer into the photograph. I like the second photo because the background colors are a suttle blue color. Also the sky blends with the ocean, making it so as you look down the picture the blue color gets darker and darker. Plus, the building all the way on the right is shot so that you are looking down it and it has a good effect. Also, the other building stands out as well as the bridge-like pathway below which makes it so the left side is not just blue.

Reflection

Artist: Santiago Bañón
Title: Boy riding bike at beach
Date taken: n/a
I chose this image because it seemed like a good example of reflection. The picture is of a boy riding a bicycle on the beach which is kind of bizarre but also really interesting. The picture seems to be taken in the early morning which makes all the colors a light blue and the waves of the ocean very calming and suddle. Also, its cool how the boy on the bike is reflected against the sand. Plus, the light in the picture makes it so the boy is reflected and so the whole beach looks calm and still.
Light vs. Dark

Title:Silhouette of child on swing at sunset.
Date taken: n/a
I chose this picture because it seems to be shot at just the right moment. Plus, the way the boy is swinging on the tree is dark, while the background of the sunset has color, seems really cool. The boy swinging on the tree, brings your eye to that main portion of the image. While, how the sky catches the light from the sun makes it so all the colors are able to be brought out. Also, I really like how the sky is not just one color, instead it looks either like a sunrise or sunset, which are both great times of day to take a picture. In my opinion, this picture is a great representation of light vs. dark.

Title: Untitled, Long Island
Date taken: 2005
I chose this image because it is a good example of the shadow effect. This is because, the trees have shadows of themselves on the picture, which must mean that the photographer took the picture during a good time of day, like when it was sunny out, so that it had that kind of effect. And the shadows make it so the picture stands out more and leads your focus to it. Also, I think its really cool how the picture is in black and white, since it makes the picture appear more engaging and is another part of the photo that makes your eye more open to looking at all of the picture's characteristics.

Title- A soccer player lands in the mud in an attempt to field the ball
Date- N/A
I chose this picture because my favorite sport is soccer and the picture is of a soccer player trying her hardest to succeed. Also, the way the picture was shot made it so the mud was caught on camera still in the air, which made a greater effect to the picture. The person in the picture made a mistake and in reality that always happen. When I saw the picture it made me think of the times when in soccer, or basically anything, if you mess up then you could always get back up. The girl looks like she is determined to get back up and try again.
